Create a Microsoft SharePoint Unstructured Data Lake Object (UDLO)

Create an Unstructured Data Lake Object (UDLO) in Data 360 to ingest your organization’s content from Microsoft SharePoint into Data 360.

The data stream ingests data from your selected repositories into a UDLO and maps it to an Unstructured Data Map Object (UDMO). Data 360 uses the UDMO to create a search index and uses it to ground AI-generated responses.

See the Unstructured Data Formats for a list of supported file formats.
